• May develop or support and promote a web-based application that works on a wide range of devices where whānau have access to self-assessment tools, wellbeing and resiliency tools and access to 24-hour support
when experiencing gambling harm or the impacts of Gambling harm.
• Will provide direct services to whānau and link them to existing services where appropriate.
